This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 18/630,162, filed Apr. 9, 2024, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/476,464, filed Sep. 15, 2021, now U.S. Pat. No. 11,995,992, issued May 28, 2024, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional patent application Ser. No. 62/706,882, which was filed on Sep. 15, 2020, the contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

There has been increased interest in the use of flying vehicles for a variety of applications. For example, while many enthusiasts currently enjoy piloting unmanned aerial vehicles (commonly referred to as drones), ideas and interest for more widespread use of such flying vehicles grows. Such flying vehicles might include flying cars, heavy transport drones, medical flying robots, and other next generation aircraft. Some project that these flying vehicles will have applications in the future to aid in the delivery of packages to their final destinations from a warehouse or other location. Autonomous air taxis to transport people or autonomous air delivery to deliver goods within a neighborhood or city are also being envisioned.

This projected increase in air traffic in addition to legacy aircraft already in use has the potential to cause congestion in an airspace, especially in densely populated areas. Furthermore, while the proliferation of new flying vehicles promises to bring many benefits, such flying vehicles also have the potential to be used to cause physical harm and property damage.

Based on the foregoing, it will be necessary to identify, authorize and control traffic through an airspace, especially in congested airspace where many varieties of flying vehicles will need to operate simultaneously. Furthermore, it is also important to be able to restrict access to unauthorized flying vehicles and to protect people and property from potentially hazardous flying vehicles.

According to the present disclosure, an artificially intelligent air traffic control system is provided. The system can comprise an artificially intelligent sensor configured to detect and remotely communicate with one or more flying vehicles, and an artificially intelligent local server communicatively coupled to the artificially intelligent sensor. The artificially intelligent local server can send control instructions comprising authorization for the one or more flying vehicles to fly in an airspace monitored by the artificially intelligent air traffic control system and a flight path assigned to the one or more flying vehicles to fly through the airspace.

The system can further comprise an artificially intelligent cloud server communicatively coupled to the artificially intelligent local server. The artificially intelligent cloud server can be configured to receive data from the artificially intelligent local server and the artificially intelligent sensor associated with the one or more flying vehicles. The artificially intelligent local server can send the authorization and the flight path to the one or more flying vehicles via the artificially intelligent sensor based on the received data stored on the artificially intelligent cloud server.

In some examples, the artificially intelligent cloud server can be one of a plurality of artificially intelligent cloud servers. The artificially intelligent cloud servers can comprise a decentralized network wherein each artificially intelligent cloud server can comprise a blockchain node with a registry of public identification information associated with the one or more flying vehicles. The system can further comprise an AI SIM card assigned to each of the one or more flying vehicles. The AI SIM card can comprise private identification information corresponding to the assigned flying vehicle.

The private identification information can comprise a digital wallet having a private key. The private identification information can be verified based on a public key associated with the public identification information. Authorization of the flying vehicle can be based on the verification of the private identification information with the public identification information. The AI local server can be operable to perform the verification based on the public identification information stored on the registry.

In some examples, the system can also comprise an e-commerce system operable to facilitate a transaction with the one or flying vehicles to obtain the authorization to fly in the airspace. In some examples, the artificially intelligent sensor can comprise a sensor module comprising a Wi-Fi network activity sensor, radar, infrared sensor, or a radio sensor to detect the one or more flying vehicles in or around the airspace. The artificially intelligent sensor can comprise a communication module operable to send control instructions to the one or more flying vehicles to assume control the one or more flying vehicles as the one or more flying vehicles fly through the airspace.

In another example of the present disclosure, a method for controlling an airspace is provided. The method can include detecting a flying vehicle in or around an airspace via an artificially intelligent (“AI”) sensor, including detecting identification information associated with the flying vehicle and communicating the identification information to an AI local server communicatively coupled to the AI sensor. The method can further comprise determining an authorization status of the flying vehicle at the AI local server based on data stored at an AI cloud server associated with the flying vehicle. The AI local server can be communicatively coupled to the AI cloud server.

When an authorization status of the flying vehicle is determined to be unauthorized, a flight path through an air space can be assigned to the flying vehicle at the AI local server and the flight path can be communicated to the flying vehicle via the AI sensor. When the authorization status of the flying vehicle is determined to be unauthorized, access of the flying vehicle to the air space can be restricted.

In some examples, the flight path can comprise a series of waypoints through the airspace. In some examples, assigning a flight path can comprise sending control instructions from the AI sensor to control the flying vehicle as it travels through the airspace.

In some examples, when the authorization status is determined to be unauthorized, a transaction can be conducted with the flying vehicle via an e-commerce system to authorize the flying vehicle to fly through the airspace. In other examples, when the authorization status is determined to be unauthorized, control of the flying vehicle can be commandeered via control instructions sent by the AI sensor, and the flying vehicle can be automatically piloted to a holding area.

In some examples, the AI cloud server is one of a plurality of AI cloud servers. The AI cloud servers can comprise a decentralized network wherein each AI cloud server comprises a blockchain node. The data stored at the AI cloud server can comprise a registry of public identification information associated with the flying vehicle. An AI SIM card can be assigned to flying vehicle where the AI SIM card can comprise private identification information corresponding to the assigned flying vehicle.

The private identification information can comprise a digital wallet having a private key. The private identification information can be verified based on a public key associated with the public identification information. The authorization status can be based on the verification of the private identification information with the public identification information. The AI local server can be operable to perform the verification based on the public identification information stored on the registry.

Reference will now be made to the exemplary embodiments illustrated, and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended.

1 FIG. 100 100 110 110 100 150 According to the present disclosure, an artificially intelligent air traffic management system (“AITMS”) is provided. The AITMS is configured to authorize entry or reject entry of flying vehicles into one or more airspaces monitored by the AITMS and to ensure safe flight of the flying vehicles through the airspace monitored by the AITMS. As illustrated in, an artificially intelligent air traffic management system, indicated generally at, can comprise several features. The AITMScan comprise a plurality of artificially intelligent (“AI”) cloud servers. The AI cloud serverscan serve as an information repository for the entire AITMS systemand include a plurality of hardware and/or software modules to control authorization into the airspace(s) and to direct traffic of flying vehiclesthrough the airspace(s).

100 120 120 110 120 110 120 110 130 130 110 120 150 The AITMScan further comprise a plurality of AI local severs. The AI local serverscan be communicatively coupled to the AI cloud servers. For example, the AI local serverscan be connected to the AI cloud serversvia a networked connection such as a wired or wireless network. The AI local serverscan relay information from the AI cloud serverto an AI sensor(which can be part of an array of AI sensors) and from the AI sensorto the AI cloud server. Additionally, the AI local serverscan comprise one or more hardware/software/firmware modules to locally control authorization and to locally direct traffic of flying vehiclesthrough the airspace or through a portion of the airspace.

100 130 130 150 100 100 130 150 150 150 150 150 120 110 130 130 120 As mentioned above, the AITMScan further comprise a plurality of AI sensors. The AI sensorsare configured to detect flying vehicleswithin an airspace monitored by the AITMSand within a vicinity of the airspace monitored by the AITMS. The AI sensorsare further configured to communicate with the detected flying vehiclessuch as to obtain identification information from the detected flying vehicles, to send flight path instructions to the detected flying vehicles, to control the flight of the detected flying vehicles, and to otherwise relay information from the flying vehiclesto the AI local serverand the AI cloud server. The AI sensorscan be configured as an array of AI sensors and can be placed strategically in the airspace and outside of the airspace as needed. The AI sensorcan be connected to the AI local serversvia a networked connection such as a wired or wireless network.

100 100 140 140 150 150 140 The AITMScan also comprise other components. For example, the AITMScan comprise an AI subscriber identity module (“SIM”) card. An AI SIM cardcan be installed on each of the flying vehiclesand can comprise identifying information regarding the flying vehicle. For example, the AI SIM cardcan comprise a type of flying vehicle, control information regarding the flying vehicle, subscription information including whether a flying vehicle is currently authorized to fly into an airspace, and the like.

100 160 160 120 110 160 110 120 160 160 100 160 150 100 150 100 The AITMScan further comprise an e-commerce system. The e-commerce systemcan be a separate system from the AI local serversand the AI cloud server, or the e-commerce systemcan be integrated into the servers,. In some examples, the e-commerce systemcan facilitate transactions in crypto currency, and can be termed a crypto-commerce system. In some instances, the e-commerce systemcan be a third-party system used to process e-commerce transactions for the AITMS. The e-commerce systemis configured to process payments and other transactions between flying vehiclesand the AITMS, such as for a flying vehicleto purchase entry into an airspace controlled by the AITMS.

110 120 100 210 210 110 100 210 100 2 FIG. 2 FIG. As mentioned above, each of the AI cloud serversand the AI local serverscan comprise hardware/software modules to aid in the control of the AITMS.shows a schematic of an AI cloud server, indicated generally as. The AI cloud severshown inis an example of one or more of the AI cloud serversof the AITMS. The AI cloud servercan comprise several hardware/software modules to control the AITMS.

210 211 211 210 211 210 211 210 210 For example, the AI cloud servercan comprise a data analysis module. The data analysis modulecan be configured to process data received in real time and compartmentalize the data into different sections of the artificial intelligence of the AI cloud server. Further, the data analysis modulecan register authorizations and entries occurring on a dedicated closed-loop internal network blockchain. The AI cloud servercan receive data from the AI local servers and the AI sensors regarding all events that take place in the AITMS. For example, the data can include flying vehicles detected in the vicinity of an airspace, flying vehicles detected within an airspace, flight paths taken through an air space, vehicle identification of a flying vehicle, and the like. The data analysis modulecan further analyze all raw data that has been compartmented into different actions. These actions can be stored to be retrieved by the AI cloud serverto develop, program, train, encode, and decode actions for future scenarios encountered by the AI cloud server.

210 212 212 The AI cloud servercan further comprise a pre-data protocol module. The pre-data protocol modulecan be configured to anticipate the traffic environment events by translating how air traffic can ebb and flow. The pre-data protocols can anticipate risk possibilities to prevent congestion or collisions.

210 213 213 211 100 100 110 210 120 130 150 The AI cloud servercan further comprise a deep learning module. The deep learning moduleuses the data stored by the data analysis moduleto aid in the teaching of various components of the AITMS, such as developing algorithms to respond to events encountered by the various components of the AITMS. Such algorithms can be stored and applied to the AI cloud server,, the AI local server, the AI sensors, and/or the AI SIM card. The deep learning module can be configured to filter data received from or about the flying vehiclesalong with environment data inputs through layers in learning how to predict and classify information.

210 214 214 100 210 100 100 The AI cloud servercan further comprise a machine learning module. The machine learning moduleis configured to process algorithms that were introduced as a training database or were improved upon automatically from experiences of events that were encountered on the AITMS. The AI cloud servercan comprise “time pill short scripts” that are able to be triggered by multi-machine learning processes in creating solutions from short scripts that are applied as future commands, controls, or system resolution. The “short pill scripts” are triggered by a clock/calendar updates, and they apply the new solution to the entire network of the AITMS. These time pill short scripts produce and maintain software libraries that manage failsafe protocols and command protocols. As the AITMSlearns of new problems, it self-sets its own triggers to run its own analytical analysis section in the processing of big data creating new solutions to new situations in the airspace. The constant big data flow is processed through the AI Local Server Machine Learning section(fig). This self-processing and self-development create instant self-solution applications to answer those problems.

210 215 215 The AI cloud servercan further comprise a failsafe protocols module. The failsafe protocols module can comprise predictive analysis using a variety of statistical techniques from data mining information on various types of flying vehicles and predictive modeling of collisions and clear flight paths. The failsafe protocols modulescan analyze current and past events to make predictions about the future or otherwise unknown traffic risks and environmental risks. Such events can include when a flying vehicle commits an illegal action such as flying outside a given flight path, entering an airspace without authorization, or the like. The failsafe protocols can define corrective actions and solutions to ensure safe travel of all flying vehicles through the airspace.

210 216 216 110 140 216 100 210 110 110 210 150 140 150 140 120 120 210 150 1 FIG. 1 FIG. 1 FIG. The AI cloud servercan further comprise a blockchain node. In one example, the blockchain nodeis one of a plurality of nodes in a decentralized network of AI cloud severs(see). The blockchain nodes facilitate a blockchain in decentralizing multiple digital flying vehicles registry records corresponding to the unique digital signature values of each flying vehicle stored within a digital wallet of its AI SIM card. The AI cloud servers can make this information available to the entire network of the AITMS. The blockchain nodecan verify flight access or authorization in batches within the network of the AITMS. These batches can be termed “Flight-Blocks.” The AI cloud servercan be one server of a plurality of decentralized AI cloud servers (such as cloud serversshown in). Events, data, aircraft identities, etc., (i.e., public identification information) can be stored on a distributed registry or ledger maintained by each of the AI cloud servers,. For example, an identity of a particular flying vehicle(see) can be confirmed based on private identification information such as a signature code value sent from an AI SIM cardof the flying vehicle(e.g., a private key stored in a digital wallet of the AI SIM card) to an AI local server. The signature code value can be verified by the AI local serverbased on the registry or ledger of public identification information maintained by the AI cloud severto determine an authorization status of the flying vehicle and to tie data associated with events regarding the flying vehicle(e.g., via a public key stored in in the distributed ledger of the blockchain).

110 210 120 130 100 110 210 110 210 100 As mentioned above, the AI cloud server,communicates with the AI local serversand the AI sensorsto receive data and to communicate control instructions for use in the AITMS. The AI clouds server,can be configured to control a single airspace or can be configured to control multiple different airspaces. The decentralized nature of multiple AI cloud servers,allows data received in one airspace to be incorporated into that of another airspace. Thus, the AITMScan apply lessons learned from events in one airspace to events in another airspace.

3 FIG. 3 FIG. 320 120 100 320 100 shows a schematic of an AI local server, indicated generally as. The AI local server shown inis an example of one or more of the AI local serversof the AITMS. The AI local servercan comprise several hardware/software modules to help control features of the AITMS.

320 321 320 130 320 130 321 130 130 150 150 320 110 210 1 FIG. For example, the AI local servercan comprise a sensor module. The sensor module can utilize one or more transceivers of the AI local serverto communicate with one or more AI Sensors(see). For example, the AI local serverscan be in a wired or wireless networked connection with the one or more AI sensors. The sensor moduleis configured to communicate with the AI sensorsto receive data from the AI sensorsregarding flying vehicleswithin or within the vicinity of a monitored airspace. The data can include identification information of the flying vehicles, flight path information, or the like. The data received by the AI local servercan be relayed to the AI cloud server,.

320 322 322 130 150 110 210 320 130 320 130 The AI local servercan further comprise a command module. The command modulecan send control instructions to the AI sensorsto be relayed to the flying vehicle. For example, the control instructions can comprise authorization information, flight path information, and the like. The control instructions can be generated at the AI cloud server,and can be relayed by the AI local serverto the AI sensors. In some examples, the AI local servercan generate control instructions to send to the AI sensors.

320 323 323 110 210 320 110 210 100 The AI local servercan further comprise an AI module. The AI modulecan be configured to generate control instructions based on local events and actions in an airspace or a portion of an airspace. In some instances, a solution cannot be found in the AI module and the AI module can consult with one or more AI cloud servers,for a solution to a particular event. In this manner, the AI local serverworks together with the AI cloud server,to control the AITMS.

323 110 210 130 110 210 323 320 In some examples, the AI modulecan comprise a machine learning module and a deep learning module that works together with the AI cloud server,to create a solution for various events detected by the AI sensors. In some examples, results of deep learning and machine learning at the AI cloud server,are transmitted to the AI moduleof the AI local serverfor implementation in future events.

4 FIG. 4 FIG. 1 FIG. 430 130 100 100 shows a schematic of an AI sensor, indicated generally as. The AI sensor shownis an example of one or more of the AI sensorsof the AITMSshown in. The AI sensor can comprise several hardware/software/firmware modules to help control features of the AITMS.

430 431 431 431 431 The AI sensorcan comprise a sensor module. The sensor modulecan be configured to detect one or more flying vehicles in and around an airspace. The sensor modulecan employ any variety of sensors such as Wi-Fi or cellular network activity sensors, radar, infrared sensors, radio sensors, and the like. The sensor modulecan thus calculate a position and trajectory of a flying vehicle in and around an airspace.

430 432 432 150 432 150 432 120 320 432 150 150 The AI sensorcan further comprise a communication module. The communication modulecan comprise one or more transceivers to communicate with a flying vehicle. The communication modulecan receive information from the flying vehiclesuch as identification information, position information, trajectory information, and the like. The communication modulecan relay such information to the AI local server,. Further, the communication modulecan send information to the flying vehicle. Such information can include authorization information to enter an airspace (or a denial of authorization), flight path information, or flight control information to control the flying vehicleas it travels through an airspace.

100 100 500 500 150 502 140 140 150 100 150 140 140 100 120 320 120 320 216 110 210 5 FIG. 1 FIG. Other features of the AITMSwill be explained in the context of a method for monitoring and controlling an airspace with the AITMS.shows a method of controlling an airspace, indicated generally as. The methodcan first comprise the step of equipping a flying vehiclewith an AI identification marker. The AI identification marker can be the AI SIM carddiscussed above. The AI SIM cardcan provide identification information about the flying vehicleto the AITMS(see). The identification information can include a type of aircraft, an owner of an aircraft, and an authorization status of the flying vehicle. In some examples, the AI SIM cardcan be considered an AI blockchain identification marker. The AI SIM cardcan comprise a private digital wallet that allows the flying vehicle to fly within an airspace monitored by the AITMS. Such a digital wallet may include a unique identifier that bind a hash header associated with a random hexadecimal signature key known as signature values that become bonded when a special encrypted key is developed and delivered to the flying vehicle from the AI local server,based on information stored and made accessible to the AI local server,in the blockchain nodeof the AI cloud server,. The digital wallet can also contain payment information and/or subscription information indicating authorization to fly within an airspace.

504 130 430 150 130 430 150 431 432 120 320 110 210 100 506 In step, the AI sensors,detect the flying vehiclein or around an airspace. The AI sensors,can detect the flying vehiclevia a sensor moduleor through communication with the flying vehicle via a communication module. The AI sensor can relay identification information to the AI local server,which can in turn relay information to the AI cloud server,. Based on the identification information, the AITMScan determine whether the flying vehicle is authorized to fly in an airspace in step.

130 430 140 150 150 140 150 130 430 150 For example, the AI sensors,can relay information from an AI SIM cardof the flying vehicleincluding digital wallet information regarding payment/subscription information of the flying vehiclefor access and use in a given airspace. The AI cloud server can verify the identification information of the AI SIM cardof the flying vehicle, such as by confirming the identification and payment/subscription information using the hexadecimal signature code. The AI cloud server can then communicate authorization information to the AI sensor,to relay to the flying vehicle.

150 500 508 508 150 160 160 110 210 150 140 508 506 500 510 If the flying vehicleis not authorized to fly in the airspace, the methodproceeds to step. In step, it is determined whether the flying vehicle can be authorized. For example, the flying vehiclecan purchase entry into the airspace or purchase a subscription to fly within the airspace. The entry could be valid for a one time use, for multiple uses, for a given time period such as a day or week, or the like. The entry can be purchased via the e-commerce systemwhich, as mentioned above, can also facilitate transactions in cryptocurrency. That is, the e-commerce systemcan facilitate a transaction to purchase entry or a subscription to enter the airspace. The results of the transaction can be communicated to the AI cloud servers,to update identification information associated with a flying vehicleand/or an AI SIM card. If the flying vehicle can be authorized in step, or if the flying vehicle was authorized in step, the methodproceeds to step.

510 150 110 210 120 320 150 150 130 430 150 In step, the flying vehicleis assigned a flight path through the air space. In one example, the AI cloud server,, and/or the AI local server,assign a flight path through an airspace. The flight path can define a virtual “pipeway” through which the flying vehicleis to fly to its destination within or on another side of the airspace. The flight path can be transmitted to the flying vehiclevia the AI sensors,. The flight path can be continually updated in real time based on other inputs from other flying vehicles, environmental inputs and the like. In this manner, the safety of the flying vehicleand other vehicles, people, and property can be ensured as the flying vehicle flies through the airspace.

150 110 120 150 In some examples, the flight path can be a series of waypoints. A pilot and/or control system of the flying vehicle can then fly the flying vehicle in accordance with the series of waypoints, or within the virtual pipeway through the airspace. In other examples, the flight path can be a series of control instruction sent from the AI sensors to the flying vehicle. In this manner, the flying vehiclecan be controlled directly while flying through the airspace. The servers,can generate control instructions based on the identification information and deep learning algorithms created based on multiple events and interactions with flying vehicles.

512 100 130 430 150 150 150 110 210 120 320 100 514 In step, the flying vehicle is monitored by the AI sensors to ensure that the flying vehicle flies according to the flight path indicated by the AITMS. For example, the AI sensors,continually monitor a position of the flying vehicleto ensure that the flying vehicleis within virtual pipeway according to the flight path. In another example, the flying vehiclebonds its hexadecimal signature code through the AI sensors, which is verified via the AI cloud server,and the AI local server. In real-time, these signatures codes allow for a secure failsafe virtual flight paths that stage the different types of flying vehicles that are in flight within the airspace monitored by the AITMS. The method then proceeds to step.

508 500 514 514 150 150 130 430 150 150 130 430 514 150 500 512 500 516 Returning to step, if the flying vehicle cannot be authorized, the lack of authorization is communicated to the flying vehicle and the methodproceeds to step. In step, it is determined whether the flying vehicleis flying outside of its authorization. For example, if the flying vehiclewas denied authorization into an airspace, the AI sensors,monitor the flying vehicleto determine whether the flying vehicleenters the airspace. In the case of a flying vehicle already flying within a virtual pipeway in the airspace, the AI sensors,monitor the flying vehicle to determine whether the flying vehicle leaves the virtual pipeway. If in stepit is determined that the flying vehicleis not flying outside of authorization, the methodproceeds back to step. If the vehicle is determined to be flying outside of authorization, the methodproceeds to step.

516 100 130 430 120 320 150 In step, the AITMScommandeers control of the flying vehicle to prevent unauthorized travel through the airspace. Other defense operations can also be used to prevent the unauthorized travel through an airspace. Such defense methods are set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 11,022,407, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. The AI sensors,, based on control instructions received from the AI local server,, can commandeer control of the flying vehicleto control the vehicle out of the airspace, to put down the vehicle in a detention holding area, or to turn over the vehicle to policing authorities.

100 100 150 100 100 150 100 For example, when a flying vehicle does not follow flight protocols according to the flight path set by the AITMSfor the flying vehicle, or if the vehicle does not follow other relevant regulations such federal, state, or local regulations in a given airspace, the AITMScan take temporary correctional controls of the flying vehicle to adjust course and aid it back into the flight path or virtual pipeway. If the flying vehiclecontinues to deviate from the flight path and applicable rules, the AITMScan commandeer the flying vehicle to take extended control of the flying vehicle until it reaches its final destination through a virtual pipeway. If the flying vehicle does not respond to the previous efforts, the flying vehicle can be commandeered and guided on a path to be captured and controlled by law enforcement. If the AITMSis unable to commandeer the flying vehicle, the AITMScan send control instructions to remaining vehicles to shut down the airspace to all non-law-enforcement vehicles to allow law enforcement to neutralize the threat of the flying vehicle.

100 In this manner, the AITMSand method of controlling flying vehicles through an airspace can safely direct multiple flying vehicles through the airspace. The system and method set forth herein can manage the traffic of any number of flying vehicles such as drones, autonomous flying vehicle delivery drones, autonomous flying medical vehicles, flying taxis, heavy transport drones, flying cars, flying trucks, flying passenger drones, aerial robots, next generation private aircraft, next generation commercial aircraft, and legacy aircraft.

100 130 430 100 130 430 110 210 120 320 All these types of aerial vehicles will be commanded and controlled by the AITMSsuch as within “smart cities” and non-smart cities. The system can run in real-time using virtual pipeways containing lanes. The vehicles travelling through the pipeways can be controlled via the AI Sensors,at multiple levels, multiple altitudes, multiple waypoints. This allows for AITMSto aid in commanding and controlling shared airspace at multiple altitudes and at multiple times. The AITMS can utilize artificial intelligence technologies and a blockchain platform using command and control protocols that direct the traffic management process in constant communication protocols that are transmitted between the AI sensors,, the AI Cloud Servers,, and the AI local servers,.

100 100 The AITMScan solve issues in controlling and managing thousands to millions of flying vehicles at the same time without the occurrence of hostile attacks, collisions, and traffic delays. The AITMSenables the managing of a unique and constantly varying range of flying vehicles sharing the same airspace and can monitor flying vehicles outside of the airspace, such as up to a 100-mile radius outside of the airspace or more.

100 130 430 120 320 120 320 120 320 120 320 130 430 150 150 140 In some examples, the AITMScan be configured with multiple AI sensors,. An AI local server,can be in communication with one or more of the AI sensors. In this manner, the AI local server,can be responsible for AI sensors and air traffic in a portion of the airspace. For example, an AI local server,can be responsible for AI sensors and air traffic in a particular neighborhood or city within the airspace. Other AI local servers,and AI sensors,can be configured in other neighborhoods or cities within the airspace. As a flying vehiclemoves through the airspace, the flying vehiclecan constantly transmit identification such as from a digital wallet of the AI SIM cardwhich is then verified at the different AI local servers in each of the neighborhoods or cities registered on the AI cloud servers'blockchain registries.

100 100 100 130 430 140 The AITMSfacilitates the ability to create several defensive solutions in protecting the airspace from dangerous activities. The defense is created to defend against weaponized drones or other weaponized flying vehicles that threaten or attack any type of people or property affecting the safety of the flying vehicles or the inhabitants within the within or around the airspace. The defense system can be a separate third-party defense system or one customized within the AITMS. The defense system, whether integrated with the AITMSor separate therefrom, can be in constant communications with the AI sensors,to create solutions to occurring events that failed to pass authentication, or with flying vehicles that have missing identification information, such as a missing AI SIM card.

While the forgoing examples are illustrative of the principles of the present invention in one or more particular applications, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that numerous modifications in form, usage and details of implementation can be made without the exercise of inventive faculty, and without departing from the principles and concepts of the invention. Accordingly, it is not intended that the invention be limited, except as by the claims set forth below.
